Elephant Sanctuary Half-Day
Chiang Mai, Thailand
About This Activity
The hills around Chiang Mai are home to Thailand's best ethical elephant sanctuaries, where rescued former logging and tourism elephants roam natural forest without performing shows or offering rides. Top-rated sanctuaries like Elephant Nature Park offer half-day programs (2,500 THB) where visitors feed, walk alongside, and watch elephants bathe in the river under careful guide supervision. Transport from Chiang Mai is included. Choose sanctuaries certified by Elephant Voices or World Animal Protection. Book several weeks ahead during high season (November–March) as programs sell out fast.
Seasonal note: Available year-round; Nov–Mar is peak season — book well in advance as sanctuaries sell out
